Pioneering a New Era of Trusted, User-Centric Digital Identity
Tokyo, April 2025 – In a world where identity is the gateway to education, work, and daily life, the need for secure, user-controlled, and globally trusted solutions has never been greater. This is magnified by a world that is becoming increasingly more connected and digital. Today, TOPPAN Edge and Partisia announce a groundbreaking partnership and proof-of-concept at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), aiming to redefine how digital identity works for students. This solution is a bedrock for digital identity, with applications that can span industries and use cases.
This collaboration is more than a technical integration. It’s a shared vision to bridge the familiar convenience of web2 with the trust, privacy, and interoperability of web3. By combining TOPPAN Edge’s 100+ years’ experience, including a 33% market share in Japanese ID systems, with Partisia’s advanced cryptography and blockchain solutions, the partnership is setting a new standard for privacy-first, decentralized, digital identity (DID).
Japan alone has over 813 universities, 360 of which issue IDs with IC chips (FeliCa). This involves a process that is costly, slow, and increasingly vulnerable to impersonation and fraud. Meanwhile, students already carry NFC-enabled smartphones and are accustomed to seamless, app-based, digital experiences. The challenge is to deliver a digital identity solution that is as easy to use as a tap on your phone, but as secure and private as the most advanced cryptography can provide.
At the same time, global standards are rising. The EU’s eIDAS 2.0 and Japan’s Trusted Web initiative demand solutions that are not only secure and user-centric but also interoperable across borders and compliant with the latest privacy regulations. The answer lies in a hybrid approach: leveraging the best of web2 user experience and web3’s decentralized trust infrastructure.
The OIST pilot brings together the strengths of both partners in a layered, future-proof architecture:
This hybrid model ensures that universities can adopt the system with minimal disruption, while students benefit from privacy, security, and convenience.
A key innovation of this project is the clear division of roles between Partisia Infrastructure (PI) and Partisia Blockchain (PBC):
This architecture not only future-proofs the solution but also positions it for mass adoption, both in Japan and globally.
From June to September 2025, the pilot at OIST will involve up to 50 participants from the incubator facility. While the immediate focus is on access control within a university setting, the broader goal is to lay the groundwork for a scalable, privacy-first digital identity infrastructure.
This proof of concept begins with private issuance and verification to ensure the system functions seamlessly in a controlled environment. It then progresses to integration with Partisia’s public blockchain, the release of a public-facing wallet, and the deployment of an on-chain credential registry.
Crucially, this pilot is not the end state. It’s a critical foundation. The architecture being tested is designed to evolve beyond student IDs and campus access, opening the door to applications in IoT, payment infrastructure, and digital identity systems for employers, healthcare, and beyond. By anchoring this work to the Partisia blockchain, this collaboration supports the long-term goals of Japan’s Trusted Web initiative, offering a decentralized, interoperable solution where user control and privacy are built in from the start.
Key performance indicators include sub-second check-in times, zero false-accepts, and full compliance with GDPR and eIDAS audit requirements. The success of the pilot will be a critical first step in building the next generation of secure, user-centric identity systems.
The potential of this platform extends far beyond student IDs. Future applications include:
By anchoring these use cases on a public blockchain, the solution ensures interoperability, transparency, and long-term trust.
As the ecosystem grows, the Partisia blockchain will play an increasingly vital role in securing and governing digital identities. While the initial focus is on establishing a robust and user-friendly platform, future iterations may include:
These features will not only enhance the utility of Partisia blockchain but also create new opportunities for innovation and value creation.
“By fusing TOPPAN’s proven access-control hardware with Partisia’s privacy tech, we’re making the jump from Web2 convenience to Web3 trust, and setting a new global benchmark.”
Mark Medum Bundgaard, Chief Product Officer, Partisia
“This collaboration lays the foundation for a new data economy where confidential student data can finally be activated without ever being exposed.”
Kurt Nielsen, CEO & Co-founder, Partisia Blockchain
“Japan is embracing blockchain to make identity both secure and user-centric. With Partisia, privacy is built-in from day one.”
Masatoshi Oka, General Manager, ID Business Management Division, TOPPAN Edge
Building on the outcomes of the OIST pilot, the roadmap for this collaboration intends on exploring:

In a thriving blockchain ecosystem, clarity and synergy are paramount. Our multi-entity design ensures that each organization contributes unique expertise while remaining laser-focused on strengthening the public blockchain.
This approach—where independent companies collaborate under the governance of Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF)—is a proven model seen in other blockchain ecosystems, such as Cardano’s relationship with the Cardano Foundation, IOHK, and EMURGO.
By upholding financial independence, robust governance, and a shared commitment to the success of PBF, we guarantee that every initiative ultimately serves the Partisia Blockchain community—driving adoption, innovation, and long-term success for the public network.
To provide a clear understanding of how these entities work together, here is a high-level breakdown of their roles:
Each of these companies operates independently but plays a distinct role in strengthening the public blockchain ecosystem under the governance of PBF. Below, we provide a more comprehensive overview of their contributions and governance structures.
At the core of the ecosystem is the Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF), a Swiss non-profit entity responsible for governing the public blockchain’s development, adoption strategy, and ecosystem growth. The foundation is the guardian of the public blockchain, ensuring that it remains open-source, transparent, and accessible for developers, enterprises, and the broader web3 community.
PBF was established in 2020, following an extensive regulatory process to ensure compliance with Swiss financial authorities and alignment with utility token regulations. This regulatory foundation remains a key pillar of the project’s long-term legitimacy and governance.
PBF follows a strict governance model, supervised by the Swiss ESA and is subject to rigorous audits and financial oversight. It operates under a locked-purpose structure, meaning its funds can only be used to develop, promote, and bring the public Partisia Blockchain to market.
The development of Partisia Blockchain dates to March 2017, when the first lines of code were written by Partisia Infrastructure (PI). PI played a critical role in shaping both the technical architecture and regulatory framework, ensuring compliance with Swiss utility token regulations. The early development efforts culminated in Version 1.7, which was acquired and open-sourced by PBF in October 2020, leading to the public release of Version 2 in January 2021.
The Foundation plays a crucial role in strategic planning, ensuring that the blockchain evolves in line with its mission. The original roadmap was set out in the whitepaper, with a yearly roadmap review that is subject to quarterly replanning. The latest iteration was a 6-month roadmap, completed in January 2025.
Although independent companies like PI and GN Solutions (GN or GODS Network), contribute to blockchain development, PBF remains the governing entity, ensuring that public blockchain progress remains transparent, decentralized, and independent from private interests. As governance continues to evolve, efforts are underway to explore more community-driven governance models.
While PBF remains the central governing entity of the public blockchain, several independent companies contribute technical expertise, adoption strategies, and infrastructure. Below, we outline their roles and how they align with PBF’s mission.
Partisia Infrastructure (PI) is an independent Danish company specializing in blockchain solutions, encryption, and privacy-preserving cryptography. However, its role in the ecosystem goes beyond enterprise applications—it has been a driving force behind the technical foundation of the public blockchain since its inception.
Partisia Infrastructure (PI) is the dedicated core developer team and technological brain trust behind the public blockchain. With over a decade of expertise in advanced cryptography, multi-party computation (MPC), and blockchain technologies, PI played a pivotal role in shaping the public blockchain’s whitepaper, regulatory framework, and token classification. As part of a larger group of independent Partisia companies that existed long before the blockchain’s launch, PI operates independently, generating its own revenue through private-sector contracts and projects ranging from quantum computing security to MPC-based key management (via Sepior, now a Blockdaemon company).
PI was responsible for building the core mainnet protocol, leveraging its deep cryptographic expertise to ensure a secure, scalable foundation for the blockchain. This work was delivered at a heavily discounted rate, underscoring PI’s commitment to the success of the public blockchain.
Since then, PI has remained the core development company behind the public blockchain, responsible for:
Beyond development, PI also plays a key role in enterprise adoption, acting as a go-to-market (GTM) partner for businesses transitioning to web3. By working with enterprises on private blockchain solutions, PI is often able to guide them toward the public blockchain, increasing on-chain activity and adoption.
Despite its involvement in development and enterprise solutions, PI operates independently from PBF, with strict governance ensuring that no public blockchain funds are used for private enterprise projects.
GODS Network is a Swiss-based entity established by Partisia Group—the same company that owns Partisia Infrastructure. It was created to solve a major challenge in web3: fragmentation across blockchain ecosystems.
By acting as an interoperability layer built directly on Partisia’s public blockchain, GODS Network connects disparate blockchains into a unified, seamless infrastructure, allowing data and transactions to flow across networks effortlessly.
At its core, GODS Network functions as a decentralized data subscription layer, enabling any smart contract on any blockchain to publish and subscribe to data across chains. This removes the silos between EVM and non-EVM blockchains, making decentralized applications more accessible and functional. The integration also enables Partisia’s public blockchain to provide privacy-preserving computation as a commodity across multiple chains, offering a unique value proposition in the web3 ecosystem.
While GODS Network is built by Partisia Infrastructure, it operates as a completely independent entity. It receives no funding or grants from Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF), ensuring a clear financial separation between GODS Network and the foundation. However, there is close collaboration between GN and PBF on business development, ensuring that GODS Network’s innovations directly drive adoption for the public blockchain.
One of the most significant benefits of GODS Network is that any use of its interoperability features will generate on-chain transactions on Partisia Blockchain. This means that while GODS Network operates independently, its success directly contributes to network activity and revenue generation for Partisia Blockchain node operators. By bridging blockchains and enabling seamless cross-chain transactions, GODS Network is positioned to be a key driver of Partisia Blockchain’s adoption in the broader web3 space.
PBC Apps is a Cayman Islands-based company founded by Brian Gallagher, a former co-founder and previous member of the Foundation Council. As part of the natural evolution of the ecosystem, Brian stepped away from day-to-day involvement with the foundation, shifting his focus to external adoption initiatives outside of PBF.
Originally, PBC Apps played a key role in driving early web3 adoption on Partisia Blockchain, leveraging its expertise to support ecosystem growth and infrastructure development.
The company was engaged in an arm’s length development agreement to build and maintain core ecosystem tools, including the initial explorer and Parti Wallet, which was—until recently—the only available wallet in the Partisia ecosystem.
Over time, the blockchain has expanded beyond a single provider, introducing new wallet solutions and enabling broader developer participation.
Today, PBC Apps operates entirely independently from the foundation and receives no further payments from PBF, originally required to build core infrastructure like wallets. It functions as a third-party service provider, just like any other independent vendor in the ecosystem, with no exclusivity or preferential treatment. This transition reflects the maturity of the public blockchain ecosystem, moving towards a more decentralized and competitive infrastructure landscape.
Ensuring strong governance and alignment between all companies in the ecosystem is a key priority for the Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF). The focus is not just on legal compliance, but on ensuring that every entity involved operates in a way that benefits the public blockchain and serves the long-term vision of the ecosystem.
From the very beginning, PBF was designed with a governance structure that prioritizes independence and accountability. Before the foundation was formally established, the co-founders worked extensively with Swiss regulators to ensure that the blockchain’s design met Utility token regulatory standards. This regulatory groundwork—combined with the development of the initial network version and the publication of the whitepaper—laid the foundation for how PBF would be structured.
To ensure that development efforts remained aligned with the public blockchain’s success, arms-length agreements were put in place with both Partisia Infrastructure and PBC Apps. These agreements were carefully structured and reviewed by an independent third party, ensuring that any services provided by external entities adhered to market standards and fair governance principles.
As PBF continues to evolve, governance remains an area of active development and refinement. The foundation operates under strict Swiss ESA supervision, undergoing annual audits that have consistently resulted in high compliance rankings with no critical issues. However, beyond regulatory adherence, the real measure of good governance is whether the relationships between entities in the ecosystem ultimately benefit the public blockchain and its stakeholders.
Instead of forcing a premature shift toward decentralized governance, the focus will remain on ensuring that the right governance mechanisms are in place to support the blockchain’s long-term success. As part of this commitment, the foundation’s council is actively exploring options to move toward a more community-centric governance model, including community representation on the council and a DAO model. These avenues would ensure that the public blockchain’s governance becomes more decentralized, balanced, and inclusive, with stronger representation from the community.
While the governance structure will continue to evolve over time, these options aim to strengthen transparency, accountability, and community involvement in decision-making. Should a clear route, requirement, and environment for these ideas arise in the future, it will be driven by community demand rather than imposed as a governance model for its own sake.
Governance improvements will be introduced gradually, ensuring that shifts toward decentralization are well-planned and beneficial to the network.
The Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF) is committed to building a sustainable, high-impact public blockchain. The separation of roles and responsibilities allows each organization to focus on its core strengths, ensuring that PBF remains dedicated to governance, adoption, and ecosystem growth while benefiting from technical expertise, interoperability advancements, and infrastructure contributions from aligned entities.
The public blockchain remains at the centre of this ecosystem, and PBF continues to explore opportunities to evolve its governance model to increase community involvement.
Partisia Blockchain is entering a new phase of growth, accountability, and execution, and we are excited to move forward together with the community toward a stronger, more decentralized future.

In today’s fragmented web3 landscape, hundreds of blockchains operate as isolated silos—each with its own language, protocol, and consensus. This complexity creates daunting challenges for developers, enterprises, and users, hampering innovation and impeding secure, seamless data exchange. True interoperability remains the holy grail of web3.
GODS (Global Omnichain Data Service) is a breakthrough interoperability protocol that transforms complex cross-chain interactions into a simple, secure, and cost-effective subscription service. By enabling decentralized applications (dApps) to “listen” to events across diverse blockchains, GODS Network empowers innovation, drives enterprise integration, and fuels the growth of the Partisia ecosystem—all while upholding the vision of a decentralized, user-centric future where privacy and data control are paramount.
GODS Network envisions an “Internet of Blockchains” where data and assets flow effortlessly between networks. Its mission rests on three key pillars:
1. Breaking Down Barriers:
2. Transforming Interoperability
3. Security & Trust
Think of GODS Network as a universal remote control that can work with any device in your home – eliminating clutter and complexity. That is the promise of GODS Network for web3:
Every operation—from subscription initiation to MPC validation—is recorded on the public Partisia Blockchain. This transparency builds trust and allows anyone to audit the system in real time.
Distributed key management among a large number of MPC nodes means that even if some nodes are compromised, the integrity of cross-chain transactions remains intact. This state-of-the-art approach reduces the risk of a single point of failure.
Acting as a universal translator, GODS seamlessly connects EVM-based chains like Ethereum with non‑EVM chains such as Partisia Blockchain, Cardano, and Solana. Developers can integrate data from multiple sources without juggling different codebases or SDKs.
Much like calling a familiar API, developers can easily subscribe to on-chain events without writing complex bridging logic. This simplicity accelerates development and reduces operational overhead.
With a pay‑as‑you‑go model and the use of Merkle tree proofs to batch updates, GODS significantly lowers gas costs—a major advantage for high-frequency applications.
As the web3 landscape matures, interoperable data and assets become increasingly critical. Here are some real-world applications that demonstrate GODS Network’s transformative potential:
Many enterprises are eager to explore web3 but are slowed by complexity and fragmentation. GODS Network functions as a secure, transparent decentralized API that bridges legacy systems with modern blockchains. Imagine a supply chain platform where internal logistics run on a private network while payment settlements occur on multiple public blockchains—the integration made effortless by GODS Network.

Blockchain technology is widely heralded as a transformative force for enterprise – from streamlining supply chains and enhancing financial processes to securing digital identities. It promises to radically improve how organizations manage data, trust, and transactions. Yet, many enterprises remain cautious about fully embracing public blockchain solutions because of concerns around security, scalability, privacy, control and regulatory compliance.
A compelling answer lies in a hybrid blockchain model – one that combines the best aspects of private (permissioned) and public (permissionless) networks. By integrating the control and confidentiality of private systems with the transparency and decentralization of public chains, enterprises can safeguard sensitive information while benefiting from global trust and interoperability.
Coupled with advanced solutions like the GODS Network, this approach not only addresses critical enterprise challenges but also drives broader public chain adoption.
It is important for us to outline what private and public blockchains are. This sets the groundwork for understanding why a hybrid model is best suited to catalyse enterprise adoption for the public blockchain network.

Think of a traditional bank. You access your account via a public app over a public network, but behind the scenes, the bank’s internal systems are protected by a secure intranet. Sensitive data like HR records or proprietary processes remain hidden, while only essential transaction data (like your account balance) is visible externally.
In web3, a private blockchain functions as this intranet, allowing sensitive computations to be kept confidential. Meanwhile, key outcomes—such as transaction confirmations—can be recorded on a public chain, ensuring transparency and immutability.
Large organizations often balk at placing any data on a fully public ledger—even if encrypted—due to regulatory constraints, internal policies, control, and privacy concerns. By offering a private network that seamlessly interfaces with a public chain, enterprises can:
It might seem counterintuitive, but as enterprises deploy private blockchains to manage sensitive data, they naturally generate key events—such as transaction finalizations—that can be recorded on public chains for greater transparency.
These on-chain records not only verify the private process but also bring real-world validation and transaction volume to the public ecosystem. Over time, this interplay boosts the credibility and adoption of public blockchains while enterprises get comfortable on the private side.
Multi-Party Computation (MPC) is a critical technology that enhances security by allowing multiple parties to compute functions over their data without revealing the inputs. In a hybrid model:

GODS Network further the migration from enterprise blockchains to any public blockchain by not locking migration to a single public blockchain. It’s designed as a cross-chain data subscription layer that seamlessly connects disparate blockchains—whether private or public—through a simple, API-like interface. Here’s what makes GODS Network unique:
A hybrid blockchain model is the most practical solution for onboarding web2 enterprises into the web3 world. By keeping sensitive data and internal processes on a private network while using public chains for key transactions, enterprises can:
As enterprises increasingly migrate to hybrid frameworks, they generate a wealth of validated public transactions that enhance the overall credibility and interoperability of blockchain networks. Platforms like GODS Network embody this vision by offering a secure, scalable, and developer-friendly bridge that not only protects sensitive data but also catalyzes broader public chain adoption.
The journey toward enterprise blockchain adoption has been deliberate and measured, with enterprises seeking solutions that balance privacy, control, and regulatory compliance against transparency and decentralization. Hybrid blockchain models effectively bridge this gap by combining the best elements of private and public blockchains, delivering secure, scalable solutions that enterprises can comfortably adopt.
The banking analogy illustrates how internal systems (the “intranet”) can coexist with public interfaces, enabling both confidentiality and auditability. GODS Network enhances this hybrid approach by seamlessly connecting private and public infrastructures, streamlining cross-chain interactions and simplifying overall user experience. It is an essential tool for facilitating smooth integration and interaction.
As enterprises build confidence in this hybrid model, they will drive increased public chain activity, ultimately creating a robust, interconnected web3 ecosystem.
